New calendar Year 258.
Gallos Ignas, the [Lord of the Crimson Wings] who had yet to truly reveal his full might and majesty, fell into a long, silent Dragon Slumber deep within the Red Maple Valley of The Borderlands.
At this moment, he was like a dark fire dormant deep within the earth's molten core, retracting all his sharpness and silently accumulating power sufficient to burn the heavens and split the earth. No one could foresee what earth-shattering waves the future of this world would stir because of him.
new calendar Year 259.
The Elven Empire [Nausir] on the Arcadia continent welcomed a moment worthy of being recorded in history.
The top-tier magic exploration ship [Emerald Starship], built by the Empire over several generations with countless resources, successfully captured signs of life fluctuations from a distant alien star in the boundless and cold deep starry sky.
Shortly thereafter, the Supreme Council of Nausir solemnly declared to the world:
"Planet Bernardo is not a lonely existence in the Universe."
The Elves' advance diplomatic mission had already set off, attempting to establish a preliminary bridge of communication with the intelligent life of another planet.
In the same year, the other two pillars of the Molten Iron Tribe—Iron Dragon Sorog and Red Dragon Samantha—also fell into slumber.
The upper-echelon strength of Dragon Valley temporarily faced a vacuum.
The tribe strictly followed the instructions Gallos gave before his slumber, continuing to adopt a steady strategy, retracting their claws, and firmly guarding their Foundation.
new calendar Year 260.
The wild Orc Empire [Kantum], amidst the roar of war songs and horns, completely reduced the last Giant city on the Selesia continent, [Cloud Peak Pillar], to ruins.
They blew the ultimate horn of conquest for the entire continent, swearing to unify all territories of Selesia with iron and blood.
The large number of Giants that originally inhabited this continent were forced to abandon the homeland they had multiplied in for generations.
They crossed steep mountain ranges and sailed across treacherous, violent ocean currents, eventually scattering and fleeing to every corner of the continents of Planet Bernardo, becoming wandering lost children.
new calendar Year 263.
Within the Lothern Federation, long-accumulated conflicts and ambitions exploded like a volcano that had been suppressed for too long.
With the tacit approval and even incitement of the superior Kingdom behind the scenes, the major Duchies tore up all peace agreements and formally declared war on each other.
Smoke and war flames swept across the entire Federation in an instant.
Countless steel legions collided tragically on the vast land, and the brilliance of destructive magic intertwined with the torrent of cold weapons to weave an incomparably cruel and magnificent war scroll, completely raising the curtain on the Federation civil war.
In the same year, the Federation's control over edge areas like the Serel Wilderness further weakened, and order was on the verge of collapse.
Meanwhile, in the Dragon Valley of the Molten Iron Tribe, Blue Dragon Heriam and Red Dragon Cahill ended their long Dragon Slumber and awakened one after another; their roars once again resounded through the valley.
new calendar Year 265.
A secret piece of news that was enough to shock the entire Dragon Clan and cause great anxiety among the very few Mortal powerhouses who knew the inside story quietly spread—almost all Metallic Dragons of adult age and above had returned to their respective birth Dragon Domains.
The root of this turmoil pointed directly to the Ancient Dragon [Sky-Covering Wing].
He had been in his twilight for a long time, nearing extinction.
The Metallic Dragons were attempting to gather the strength of the entire clan to hold a powerful ritual, hoping to help this Ancient Dragon break through the final boundary of life and death, step into the realm of immortality, and extend his life.
In the same year, a powerful and ferocious Demonic Beast of unknown origin attacked Ximu Town and was eventually torn to pieces by The Dragon Flight.
new calendar Year 268.
The Ancient Dragon who held the prestigious title of [Winters End · White Dragon of Ten Thousand Laws]—Heatherfill, brazenly attacked the Dragon Domain where the Metallic Dragons gathered, intending to disrupt the ritual concerning the fate of Sky-Covering Wing.
No one was able to witness the full picture of the intense battle process.
But the aftermath it caused shocked the world.
The distant outer sea area was completely frozen by an unimaginably cold extreme intent, turning into a dead and boundless ice field, and was subsequently shattered by violent energy impacts, with the resulting ten-thousand-foot waves submerging countless coastal areas, triggering global climate anomalies and ecological disasters.
As for the final result of this Dragon Clan civil war, it was shrouded in fog, and no one knew the truth.
new calendar Year 270.
The ruler of the Permafrost Tundra—the King of the Northern Barbarians, and his sworn enemy for generations, the Frost Giant King, were both exhausted and perished together in a Peak decisive battle that determined the final fate of the tundra.
Due to the influence of their battle and ecological climate changes.
A destructive cold wave swept south, almost turning the entire The Borderlands into a polar region.
In the same year, the drastic change in the environment triggered a tremor in deep space, leading to the unstable expansion of the Abyssal Rift.
An unprecedented scale of demon army surged out through the expanded rift, causing no small losses to the Molten Iron Tribe. Mixed-blood Centaur Elvie and Snake-person Sword Saint Naris led their troops in bloody battles, holding the front line until the arrival of reinforcements from The Dragon Flight and other vassal leaders, combining forces to repel the demon tide and thus harvesting a large number of precious demon Materials.
new calendar Year 273.
A huge change occurred within the Kingdom of Lothern.
The elderly king passed away from illness, and the second prince, who had been lurking and biding his time, launched a bloody court coup with thunderous momentum. Before the cold Iron Throne, he personally killed his elder brother, who was the first heir, paved the road to the pinnacle of power with the blood of his closest kin, and seized the throne.
This cruel act, which defied human ethics and the laws of the kingdom, shocked the whole country.
The legitimacy of the new king's power was severely questioned by almost all classes.
The Kingdom of Ripos, which had been watching silently, issued a crusade declaration on almost the same day the new king was crowned—"In the name of the Holy King, in the name of correcting the Federation order," formally declaring war on the Kingdom of Lothern.
With this, the five major kingdoms of the Federation completely split and turned into three factions.
The Federation civil war escalated across the board, entering a new phase of greater chaos and cruelty.
In the same year, due to the increasingly deteriorating environmental changes on a global scale, a large number of herds in The Borderlands were forced to migrate or died off in large numbers, vegetation withered over large areas, resources became increasingly scarce, and the development of the Molten Iron Tribe in The Borderlands almost came to a complete standstill.
Although Iron Dragon Sorog and Red Dragon Samantha awakened this year, they still chose to continue to lie dormant and wait for the right moment.
new calendar Year 274.
The overlord of the Atlan continent, the Human Race Empire [Holden].
Just as the Elven Empire was exploring the starry sky and the Material Plane, the top brass of the Holden Empire decided to look downward, seeking a Breakthrough in power from other planes.
Ignoring the strong opposition and stern warnings of the state religion [Dawn Church], the Emperor finally made the decision and passed the highly controversial [Abyssal Development Plan].
The Empire's major elite legions began to move in on a large scale, armed and reinforced the rifts connecting to the The Abyss, attempting to further expand the rifts and unearth power from the Abyssal plane.
In the same year.
In the Dragon Valley of the Molten Iron Tribe, Black Dragon Serafina and Green Dragon Ludwig also officially entered the juvenile stage of rapid power growth, adding new vitality to the tribe.
